WHO ARE THEY?! FIRST TIME HEARING! The Cure - Pictures Of You | REACTION 

Anyone who gives The Cure a chance, is a friend in my book! They're my favorite band in the world. This means so much. Thank you for listening!!

The lead singer Robert Smith is definitely a romantic, he married his high school sweetheart and they are still together after all this time. The Cure a definitely a band you can do a 'deep dive' into, they've been going a long time and have a massive list of classic tunes. Was lucky enough to see them play at Hyde Park in London a few years back, it was a one day music festival with four stages and a load of great bands hand picked by Robert himself, one of the best days of my life if I'm honest.

The Cure us one of the pillars that are the foundation of alternative rock along with Depeche Mode and Talking Heads and a few others. Robert Smith is the genius lead singer/ guitarist/ song writer. They are also part of the sub-genre of goth which is a precursor to emo. They have an endless supply of great songs. Here's a few: Friday I'm In Love, Boys Don't Cry, Fascination Street, Lovesong, Close to Me.

The Cure has been my favorite band for 36 years, I have been lucky enough to see them live 18 times ❤ They have so many great songs, please check out Just Like Heaven, Boy's Don't Cry, A Forest, Charlotte Sometimes, Disintegration and so much more.

Their album Disintegration is a masterpiece.

my favorite Cure song! Every time I hear this song, it brings me into deep thought about a specific former gf. edit: This song ALWAYS gets me emotional. sometimes tears, all the time deep in thought.

This was my friend Jennifer’s favorite band. When she passed away of cancer at 35 this song was played at her memorial. Not a dry eye. RIP Jen. F Cancer.

The Cure is one of the greatest bands of all time. I recommend Just Like Heaven (Live) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Just Like Heaven is one of the greatest pop songs ever.

Robert Smith (lead singer) of the Cure to me was and is one of the best lyrically written romantic singers and writers of the 80's and beyond.

One of my favorite bands of ALL TIME. Absolutely love them.

I've loved this band since the 80's. This song makes me tear up almost every time I hear it, all these years later.

One of my daughter's favorite bands when she was younger. Try 'Just Like Heaven.' Robert Smith is lead.

This song was out when I was 24 and lost my 10 year old baby brother, who was like my own child. “Crying for the death of my heart” lyric gets me every time cuz my heart did die that day.

Listened to them "back in the day". Still one of my favorites. Very emotional song. Robert Smith is the vocalist/song writer/guitarist for the band. Check out Friday I'm In Love.

theres a beautiful 8 minute long version that is brilliant too. always loved their music, an underrated & spellbinding song you may enjoy called " lullaby" Watching the video with it is so immersive, it is dark yet ethereal & Gothic, but the arrangement is fantastic. so glad you enjoyed this track!! the cure hit real hard with their genius music! 💯

A Forest by The Cure is one of my favorite songs.

Pornography was one of their best albums...it's not about what you think though. The Top, Head on the Door are good too. I had all the albums...great stuff.

Dude hell yeah. The Cure is a band that, in 25 years, I never get sick of. If you want to get shattered, my friend, listen to a song of theirs called "A Thousand Hours". SHATTERED.

I listened to the album, Disintegration, and this song in particular over and over when it came out. Even went to a release party. I was an emotionally unstable teen goth who had a desperately obsessive crush on a good friend. Yes, I cried a lot.

So pleased you have discovered The Cure . They have been making intricate music since the late 1970’s . They are extremely influential . In fact the were inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame several years ago . I would love to see you react to Love Song . I greatly enjoy your reactions .

The Cure have a ton of amazing songs, and quite a few will make you weep. The one that makes me cry the most is called "Maybe Someday".

This song came on in the car the other day & I was transported back to the 80's & just vibed out on my way to work thinking back on everything 🌠

Just simply the best band to make dark subject matter sound so freaking good

Robert Smith is the best lyric writer. They sound just as amazing in concert if you ever get a chance! Magical. Letter to Elise is a fave!

This is the radio edit - take a listen to the much longer original album cut with the amazing instrumental intro. When you turn this one up loud on a good set of speakers, you can hear so many layers and nuances of sound that it blows your mind. Same is true for the whole album (Disintegration), one of the very best albums in rock history.

Whole sub genre of alternative music you came across in the early 80's - all to this day still play live, and are icons - CURE, DEPECHE MODE, NEW ORDER, .......and quite a few others.

Big Cure fan going all the way back to their inception , but going thru my divorce , I couldn’t listen to this song . It was like a sonic sledgehammer ...just crushing. Even now , many years later , it puts me back there. Music can be very powerful , and bands like The Cure exemplify that.

“Mesmerising “ is the first word that came to my mind when I listened to the album “Disintegration “ and this song in particular... sooo very beautiful.

This song definitely made me tear up a few times! Awesome reaction, thank you

This song hit hard back in the day mid break-up with my first high school girlfriend. We continued on-and-off for years, the relationship eventually morphing more into The Cure's "Edge of the Deep Green Sea" (which I'd also love to see you review.) The Cure knows heartbreak, for sure...

The singer (songwriter) is Robert Smith, he still sounds this good live at 60-something...Such a great voice

The year this came out, I bought the record and I was just mesmerized by this song

Oh yay! I just watched your reaction to Fascination Street, and this song is from the same album. This video shortens the intro a LOT, I recommend listening to the album cut if you can, you will be blown away by it. One of the best intros, I think! Thank you for checking them out! Yes, this song made me cry, I had just been dumped by a guy and listened to this song and the whole album on repeat. Watched until the end!

The cure are brilliant loved them since they 1st appeared years ago and they are still going strong, Robert Smith has written so many wonderful songs, so good you are getting into them great reaction 💗

Some of the best emotional songs, seem to come from heartache. Great song!

I'm a '70s and 80s kid I grew up with this music. I used to be a classic Punkrocker. This band and 80s music have roots in Punk Rock music. some of my personal favorite songs from them are: (The Cure - A Forest (1980) full 12” Single), (The Cure - Killing an Arab), (The Cure - "10:15 Saturday Night")

Great reaction . I thoroughly enjoy your comments . So pleased you are discovering The Cure . They were inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame a few years ago . Would love to see you react to Love Song .

So happy to see you discover The Cure!🖤

The Cure was one of the bands that got me through so many hard times when I was young. I will always love their music and Robert Smith's romantic sensibility.

One of my favorite bands in the WORLD! Robert Smith is a legend.

Thank you so much man. This song is so spiritual. Loved The Cure for 35 years. This song hits home with me especially, my fiancee passed of cancer in November of 97 and all I have is memories and pictures. So thank you for your reaction and giving this song a chance. Great man.

"Screamed at the make elieve, screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to let it all go" Those lines KILL me every time.

I love it when people hear The Cure for the first time... 😎

This isn't their best. Check out, The Walk In between days A Forest Love Cats Let's go to bed

When they start 1979 and today getting into the hull of rock and roll hull of fame watch them live

The girl that broke my heart.. Took me back 6 months later for one night together.. She played this song as we in bed together and she whispered that she loved me.. The next day she told me she doesn't wanna be with me anymore.. Broke my heart twice.. This song haunts my soul.. And i love it.

this was my favorite song from the first time i heard it. Disintigration is just an epic album and this is the hauntingly beautiful...saw them first time live the same year...a 15 year old kid and its been a life long love since then.

Bought the tape over 30 years ago, still listening to that album frequently.

The edit that is played on this video is the short edit. The guitar intro on the album Disintegration as well as the live versions are much longer and really enrapture Roberts emotional expression. This was also regarded as a Radio edit due to the music company saying the intro was too long of which Robert Smith disagreed with. The Drummer is Boris Williams, well regarded within the music industry. All i listen to is The Cure and have been doing so for the last 38 years.

This song is a masterpiece. Thanks for giving it a chance!

I've heard this song a million times, and just now as soon as I started tearing up, you asked if this song makes us tear up 💙 it's nice to hear you had the same feeling

Wow. I am so happy you liked the song. The Cure is probably one of the best bands I’ve ever heard and has the moat consistent output of quality music. They mean so much to me and seeing your reaction to the song made me recapture that feeling I had when I first heard it. There are MANY great songs from them you should check out. Too many to even suggest to you. They are all good. Most people would point you to Disintegration as the album to check out. But my personal favorite is Head On The Door. It doesn’t sound as coherent throughout as Disintegration. But it does give you an idea of the different sounds they are capable of. Thanks for the post. And hope to see you explore more of their music.

One of my favorites! I was in my 20’ in the 70’s and I can tell you they were in the top 5 for a very long time. You missed out for not being in your younger life loving the CURE! So much fun dancing to them in the club!!!!

The Cure have been my favorite band before I knew who was doing those songs I heard and loved so much... then found out a couple years later. When the album for this song came out... you could just lay down with a friend or on your own and listen... the entire album is gorgeous with some songs stronger/more to one's taste than others, but all high quality. I've cried more than once to this and other songs on the album. Back then and now. It's a great album to grab a song or the entire thing and have one of those horrible-day/event cathartic bawling listening to. Hell, on another account here on YT I have a reaction channel and I ran into a concert of theirs I'd never seen where they did an over-all favorite of mine called Disintegration that came from this album. I straight-up ugly-cried. Hell,, I sat in a hostel dayroom about 3 or 4 days ago and heard some of this album played on the overhead and had to stop what I was doing and had to control getting weepy at certain songs. This one doesn't turn on the waterworks for me always, but it'll hit me at times - back then and now - but either way it always grabs me by the chest as just being for me achingly beautiful more than the sad factor.

Since you like how the build the intro, you should listen to the version on the album (this one is the radio edit with a very short intro). The original one take you to a next level journey!

The full version features a longer intro as instruments are added. Quite a build up to this great song. It sounds almost orchestral.

If you like the drums on this one, try Prayers for Rain...

Amazing song off an amazing album from an absolutely amazing group. Robert Smith is a certified guitar God In My mind and the cure is a very special band to a lot of people including me

There is not a bad song on the whole of the album Disintegration that This song came off of.

Robert Smith is a great storyteller and creates visual imagery that you can enjoy while listening to his songs. It’s a 2 for 1.

The Cure the hanging garden is a pretty dark but great drumming

Great reaction to a fantastic band. I have loved The Cure for a long time, I think I was thirteen when I first heard them. My favorit song is this one that you reacted to. But they have so manny fantastic songs. Please react to more of them, you will love it. 👌🥰

I live in London.......pointless but hi.....….....…

HEARTBREAK FUCKING SUCKS!!!!!!😩😩😩😩😩😩

Great video. The instrumentation is so on point - everyone brings their A-game. And I love how you commented on Robert's "do doo do doo do do-do-doo" stuff - he does that on quite a few of their tracks and it's it's always adorable. Six Different Ways is a banger if you want something a bit more upbeat and poppy. They used it in the 2017 'It" movie - no spoilers, but I was like "O... M... G... you picked this song for this scene - you people are sick geniuses". The Lovecats is another fun poppy one - Close to Me as well. The Close to me remix (from their 'Mixed up' collection is a sexy hump-jam for sure. Unititled (last song off the Disintegration record) is devastating, if you want he more moody stuff. Thanks for this video. All my love.

I bought this cd in 1990 and still cry every time I hear it. This is the best album I have ever heard.

DISINTEGRATION (89) is one of their best albums, and they have a lot! The last time I attend to a The Cure concert it was in BBK Live Festival (Bilbao). The beginning of the show was delaying due to tech issues, so Robert grabbed his acoustic guitar, came out to the stage and star to play as 4 or 5 song he alone! They are just amazing!

Newly subscribed, The Cure brought me here! Robert Smith is an amazing songwriter, singer and his guitar playing is truly unique. I love this song and always cry, more so since losing my husband 2 years ago. Love your reaction :) Just like Heaven is another gorgeous one of theirs but then they have so many!

I definitely listened to The Cure back in the day. I still listen to "Disintegration" album allll the time, especially at work. For me it was their best album.

I saw them in New Orleans supporting this album (Disintegration) in the Fall of 1989....It was a great show.

the Cure is a member of the Rock and Roll hall of Fame for a reason...Robert Smith is a genius!

Always great to see another Cure reaction video. I've been a fan since 1982. I've seen them live 17 times and met the band twice. Can't wait to see them live again next year. And yes, it did make me tear up because I actually did rip up a picture of an ex-girlfriend before this song came out.

I've seen this band six times in concert they're my favorite I'm almost 50 years old and I still have a picture of them hanging on my wall it is framed and it's signed by all the members so it's a grown up version but it's still there LOL

This band brings back teenage memories.

A girl I met and hooked up with on a flight to my first deployment in Korea in 1989 gave me the cassette tape of the Cure Disintegration and it changed my life. For real, changed my life. That whole entire album helped me through a lot of times in my you g life. I'm 52 now but I still listen to this album and it still takes me places.

This is one of my all time favorites….definitely brings back memories of my first love

Every time I hear this song I tear up. This song has a different meaning for me. I remember those who I love that have passed. This band was a head of their time.

Absolutely remember this from long ago- and yes - makes me weepy There’s an extended version- magical

Tienes que venir de otro planeta para tener 30 años (Los que aparenta tener este chavo) y escuchar PICTURES OF YOU por primera vez en tu vida.

Still selling out venues and touring. I had the pleasure of working with The Cure at the local music festival. Robert Smith is so talented and a really nice guy

The Cure was Inducted into the ROCK'N ROLL HALL OF FAME IN 2019 #thatisall

Ok. Cure .. must hears Play to Play Jumping Someone Else's Train Killing an Arab

I think the drummer here was Boris Williams; check out his ferocious drumming on the live version of the song Disintegration from the Entreat live album.

The singer is Robert Smith. You'll remember him from kicking Mecha-Streisand's butt on South Park. He's a true master of lamentation. Other recommendations are Burn, Friday I'm in Love, Plainsong, Lullaby, lots of stuff. Enjoy.

Back in the day, I would go to the record store and put down BANK to get the Japanese imports of their albums so I could have them before anyone. 😂 Kyoto Song, Charlotte Sometimes, 3 Imaginary Boys, Caterpillar Girl, Love Cats… Man, I love them still. I’m in my 50s and my 20 something children now play the hell out of my vinyls. I love it. 🥰 💋👈 Robert Smith’s lips. 😆

This song just gives me chills, you should listen to And Nothing is Forever this will make you cry. Thank you for your review of this amazing song and group.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THE CURE?! Dear lord, the things I could teach you. I’m so glad I was born in the 70’s; I feel so bad for kids/young adults these days.

Shake Dog Shake from The Rockn Roll Hall of Fame Live is a Banger from The Cure. It sounds much heavier when they perform it live. Give it a listen. It shows the Rocking Side of The Cure. My favorite Band ever! Keep them coming!!! ❤️

This is the best song I have ever heard. I have heard them all. Stand by me . anything from the Beach Boys and The Beatles. Rolling Stones Keith sweat, lemme know

Yes do more The Cure - Plainsong, A Forest, Disintegration, Inbetween Days, etc.

Not too long ago Robert Smith, singer and Cure mastermind, collaborated with Gorillaz on their beautifully creepy track "Strange Timez".

I wish u would smoke weed and listen cuz it's even more magical 💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹 and yes - very first time listening- totally teared up. 💜

This video was filmed in Aviemore, Scotland (I think) Definitely north Scotland though. The palm tree(s) were brought in, Scotland is not tropical plant friendly

I totally respect your background horns up for life RAMS RULE screw the rest of the NFL

Blessed to see these guys inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at Barclays in Brooklyn! 🥰 Stevie Nicks & Janet Jackson we're the reason I was there. 🤗 But these guys brought back so many 😎 Club memories with each song they played! 🐰

Amazing band... check out Lazarus by David Bowie.. the intro is very much using the same bass sound you hear in this. I'm getting Lazarus signed too by the saxophonist who worked with David Bowie!

Yes, please check out more. It's all good, and it's all different. The drummer is Boris Williams, who was with the band for ten years, during the 80s and early 90s. He is a genius. Please react to their song "All Cats Are Grey".

Heard it back then first time. To this day makes me cry. Beautiful song, timeless!

You should listen to Charlotte Sometimes, Letters to Elise and How beautiful you are. All Amazingly heartbreaking songs

You gotta listen to love song by the cure. Easily one of their best songs
